Vanislru Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Turbo's are great. Advantages are: Clearance, I can't stand the sight of the non turbo's exhaust hanging down. Power, I cruise at 130 kmh or about 80mph Disadvantages are the lower torque, which I dealt with by installing a hybrid highcomp turbo motor in. EFI block turbo goodies. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=9702&sort=1&cat=500&page=1 for pics in my user gallery.

ShawnW Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Mine WAS a turbo and I liked the downpipe for sure. Its going to be an ej22 beast though now. Better power than the ea81 turbo but more important to me was the premium fuel cost savings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 though I never got to off-road this one, I liked it. EA81T with decked heads. converted to 4 speed D/R. BYB 4/3 lift, and 30x9.50x15s K&N Cone intake. could spin the tires on dry pavement, and also disintegrated a DOJ after only 50 miles when I stompped on it, spun on some loose gravel, and then caught pavement. Ker-Pow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmountainmonk Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Here's my 88 GL10 Turbo wagon: DR 5spd, XT6 clutch, cone intake, mudrat downpipe, 2.5" exhaust, 4" Hi-rise lift, LSD, Pug steelies, siped Kumho MT's. The Mudrat downpipe and low restriction muffler give it a nice growl at spoolup. I also run a 92 Loyale wagon (SPFI) with a DR but it is not lifted yet (it will be getting a 4" lift and pug alloys with Cooper STT's this spring!), so I have not been able to fully compare their off-road performance. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=9706&sort=1&cat=500&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Range Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 '87 GL-10 T-wagon, 12 psi boost, 43 lbs fuel press, cone intake, custom catless exhaust, 3"-Mudrat lift, 3.90 5spd D/R, rear LSD, Pug alloy's, 27" Kumho M/T's (on madmountain's ride) Car was really fun, did great on anything except really grippy surfaces where crawling was required, would do it again, but have moved to the 2.2l motor. last I heard it was still driving around Portland, OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

operose Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 seems like a turbo would be a good way to get those big meats turning on the highway.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSSLGECKO Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 It's been off the road for some time, but the turbo is a blast and definately helps the car with driving the large tires and can achieve good highway speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
